I was traveling west to [A] Buckskin on my way [E] to a cattle run
[A]
Across a little [E] cactus desert [B] under a hot [E] blistering sun
I was thirsty down to my [A] toenails, stopped to rest [E] me on a stump
[A] But I tell you I just couldn't believe [B] it when I saw [Em] that water pump
[E] I took it to be a mirage at [A] first, it'll fool a [E] thirsty man
[A] Then I [E] saw a note [B] stuck in a baking [E] powder can
This pump is old, the note [A] began, but she works so [E] give her a try
[A] I put a new [E] sucker washer in her, [B] you may find [E] the leather dry
[B] You've got to prime the pump, you [A] must have faith [E] and believe
[B] You've got to give love to yourself [A] for you're worthy [E] to receive
Drink [A] all the water [E] you can hold, [G#] wash your face, [A] rule your feet
[E] Release the bottle, [A] probe or other, thank kindly, [E] desert me
Yeah, you'll have to prime the pump, [A] work that handle like [E] there's a fire
[A] Under that [E] rock you'll find some [B] water I left in a [Em] bidder's jug
[E] Now there's just enough to prime it [A] with, so don't you [E] go drinking first
[A] You just pour it [E] in and pump like [B] mad, buddy you'll [Em] quench your thirst
[B]
Prime the pump, you [A] must have faith [E] and believe
[B] You've got to give love to yourself [A] for you're worthy [E] to receive
Drink [A] all the water [E] you can hold, [G#] wash your face, [A] rule your feet
[E] Release the bottle, [C#m] probe or other, thank [E] kindly, desert me
Well I found that jar and I tell you, [A] nothing was ever prettier [E] to my eye
[A] And I was tempted [E] strong to drink it, cause [B] that pump looked [E] mighty dry
But the note went on, have faith my [A] friend, there's water [E] down below
[A] You've got to give until [B] you get, I'm the one who [E] ought to know
So I poured in the jar and I started pumping
[A] And I heard a [E] beautiful sound [A] of water [E] bubbling and splashing
[B] Out of that [E] hole in the ground
I took off my shoes and I drunk my [A] fill of that cool [E] refreshing treat
[A] I thank the [E] Lord, I thank the [B] pump and I thank old [Em] desert Pete
[B] Prime the pump, you [A] must have [E] faith and believe
[B] You've got to give love to yourself [A] for you're worthy [E] to receive
Drink all the water you can hold, [G#] wash your [A] face, rule your feet
